Mike McLellan's Postcards

WELCOME

This blog is about the adventure of traveling and especially the interesting people that you meet. We will share stories about people and places we have encountered from around the United States, Ireland, Scotland, England, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, France, Canada, Spain, Mexico, The Vatican, The Netherlands, Belgium, Zambia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Liechtenstein, Portugal, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, and more. This is not a travelogue -- we leave that to Rick Steves -- this is a collection of fragments in the journey of life.

Icefields Parkway

The Icefields Parkway from Banff to Jasper is remarkable in the lakes and the color of the water. The folks that own the Banff Avenue Bed and Breakfast suggested stops at several lakes to take photos. The problem I found was that the photos are close but not as strong as the actually blue of the water. The color comes from glacial flour that washes down and is suspended. It is truly beautiful.

The Hyatt, San Francisco

The lobby in the Hyatt Regency in S.F. has been hung with thousands of lights to copy the look of snow. We have stayed at this hotel and eaten there several times. The hotel is built around a lobby that is a giant atrium that soars up many stories and the doors to the rooms all open up to that space. The photo, which I took last week, shows the metal sculpture on the ground floor.
